Senior Congress MLA K N Rajanna, recently dismissed from his ministerial role, announced plans to visit New Delhi to clear misconceptions held by the party's leadership. In a press briefing, Rajanna expressed his unwavering loyalty to the Congress high command.

Rajanna's dismissal followed public remarks perceived as challenging the party's stance, particularly in alignment with Rahul Gandhi's 'vote theft' campaign. The comments contributed to internal tensions, including those concerning the influence of Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.

His prior advocacy for appointing additional Deputy Chief Ministers from diverse communities further fueled controversy. Despite these challenges, Rajanna remains ambitious about leading the state Congress, currently under Shivakumar's extended tenure.
